Landing gear will not retract

[Hillbilly]

Hi All,

Keystone Challenger 34SAQ. Setting up last night the landing gear quit working in the retract mode. It will extend normally, (electrical). Do the rocker switches for the landing gear go bad? Anything else to possibly check?

Thanks!

Just a thought,

I had the rocker switch fail to operate when I went to retract. Since it was dark I opted to try the little remote control and it worked fine.

When I got the opportunity to troubleshoot I had to do quite a search to locate the in line fuse for the motor. The way the wires were bundled together make me think that one side could pull off the switch making only one function fail.

The fact that it goes one way pretty much lets out the motor as it is a simple polarity which makes it go in the opposite direction.
